Check out this Modern Mississauga article by Heritage Mississauga’s Matthew Wilkinson, who dives into the history of the City of Mississauga in celebration of its 50th birthday. Here’s a preview:
“Happy Birthday to the City! On January 1, 2024, the City of Mississauga turned 50 years old! Born through a series of amalgamations, the City of Mississauga formally came to be on January 1, 1974 with the joining of the towns of Mississauga, Port Credit and Streetsville to create the city. But as we know, our city has much older roots, and 1974 was not the first step in our collective story. The City of Mississauga sits upon the traditional and treaty lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and people have traversed this landscape for countless generations over thousands of years.”
